Our free exhibition with The Bank Of England Museum 'Pardner Hand: A Caribbean answer to British banking exclusion' is open until June 2024 for anyone interested in finding out more:

We’re much more than a museum

We are Museumand, The National Caribbean Heritage Museum. We are a museum & more. We’re a unique, vibrant, creative organisation, a museum “without walls”, dedicated to commemorating and celebrating the Caribbean contribution to life in the UK.

For many centuries, Caribbeans have helped to shape and influence our shared British culture, heritage and achievements, but their stories are often left untold. We aim to bring those stories to life for everyone, by exploring, preserving and sharing Caribbean history, heritage and culture, both past and contemporary.

Fascinating social histories. Moving personal accounts. Intriguing objects. Wonderful music, art, performance and crafts. You’ll find it all and more in our eclectic and often unexpected exhibitions and events.

Above all, we’re a museum without walls, in every sense. As a social and community history museum we travel to and connect with communities around the UK, especially those who may not normally visit traditional heritage organisations. Our exhibitions and events celebrate the lives and experiences of ordinary people, in a way that everyone can recognise and embrace.
